Parenting after Receiving a Schizophrenia Diagnosis
When I was in my darkest hour, amid psychotic episodes, there was light pulling me forward. I just knew I had a future ahead of me where I would get married and become a mother. This desire and calling, at times, led me forward and gave me direction into my future.
I have now been in remission from any symptoms of schizophrenia for 11 years. I’ve been married for five years and my son is three years old.
